Zach Randolph's number to be retired by Memphis Grizzlies

After it came out on Tuesday that Zach Randolph was leaving the Memphis Grizzlies for the Sacramento Kings, the Grizzlies announced they would be retiring his number. "While there will be a time and place to recognize your lasting impact in Memphis, starting today, as stated earlier by Controlling Owner, Robert Pera, number 50 will never be worn by any other member of the Memphis Grizzlies." Randolph was a eight-year veteran of the team, reaching two All-Star games in his time there and helping the team to embody the "Grit and Grind" mentality. "Thank you for the energy and excitement you brought each and every night to FedExForum. Thank you for your leadership and service. Thank you for your larger than life impact and for keeping all Memphians warm. Thank you."
